Hair!

Haircut?  At 2&1/2 months?  Why do you ask?

Guy Smiley

We can officially say the smiles are not gas related.  Well, not all of them at least.  He still smiles like an idiot pretty much every time he farts, but I can usually elicit a pretty good smile when I ask.  Too bad he's not cute, right?

Another milestone

Alex is officially sans training wheels!!!  Thanks Grandpa Z for taking the wheels off and thanks Auntie Kim for running behind him until he got it!  There were some spills upon stopping until he figured out the timing of putting his foot down, and we're still working on the starts, but this kid is training wheel free.

Quiet

The boys are coming home today!  They left on Sunday evening and have been soaking up hours upon hours of undivided attention from their aunt, uncle, and cousins in Platteville.  According to the updates I've been getting, they are having a great time and both are being very good.  Here's to hopin' that's actually the truth.

It has been so eerily quiet in our house.  And clean.  It's amazing how clean a house can stay when the kitchen isn't piling up with baby bottles and there isn't a 5 year old bringing every single Lego to the living room table.

Since they've been gone, I have realized a couple things:

1.  We are really boring without them.  At least from a writing stand point.  It's been nice to have some time to ourselves, but man...we are not exciting people.

2.  I'm really excited to see them today and have them home, buuuuuuut.....if they could just sleep somewhere else so I can keep getting these full nights of sleep, that would be awesome.

Check-Up

Getting vaccinated is tiring stuff.

He is gonna be one hungry baby when he wakes up.  He was due to eat about 2 hours ago.  I haven't started any projects or laid down to grab a quick nap since I'm positive he's going to wake up starving at any moment.

Tough Questions

While inspecting a mini Buddha figurine I have in the kitchen:

"Mom, is Buddha a boy or a girl?"
"He's a boy."
"Then why does he have big boobs?"

Euphemisms

I woke up a bit late this morning and had to be in a hurry to get Alex ready so he didn't miss breakfast at daycare.  Could I have taken my time and just fed him myself?  Yes, probably.  But I'm not paying them for me to feed him, so there.

Alex wasn't feelin' the whole get up and go thing this morning, and he really didn't want to get dressed.  So, in an effort to remedy that, I told him we should race to see who could get dressed faster.  He was totally down for that.  About 30 seconds into our race, Alex declared, "I'm totally gonna win 'cause I already almost have my shirt on and you still have to put on your boob holder."

Touché little man.  Touché.
